an addition:
If so, could we automatically change / to \ in G_system()
to resolve such cases using G_str_replace():

general/manage/lib/do_copy.c
...
            sprintf (command, "%s/etc/copy '%s' '", G_gisbase(), path);
            G__file_name (path, list[n].element[i], new, G_mapset());
            strcat (command, path);
            strcat (command, "'");
            system (command);
...
